Oklahoma Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney Lawyer OK City

A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a severe, closed head injury that occurs as the result of a sudden, violent physical impact to the head. Traumatic brain injuries cause extensive contusions and swelling of the brain. Such trauma to the brain can be fatal; for those who survive a TBI, the symptoms of the injury can be permanently disabling.

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), over 1.5 million people suffer a traumatic brain injury each year. Of these injuries, 50,000 are fatal, and 85,000 people are left with permanent disabilities as a result of their traumatic brain injury. It is estimated that there are currently over 5 million Americans living with disability from TBI.

Traumatic Brain Injuries can occur from any accident that causes a blow to the head, but they most commonly occur from motor vehicle accidents, gunshot wounds, and falls. Child injury from TBI is often the result of a bicycle accident or fall from playground equipment. Seniors are also at risk of traumatic brain injury from slips and falls.

The effects of a Traumatic Brain Injury can be permanent and debilitating, and include:

Severe Headaches
Fatigue
Memory loss
Forgetfulness
Inability to focus
Cognitive disability
Impaired judgment
Impulsivity
Learning difficulties
Dramatic personality change
Violent behavior
Sleep disturbances
